@hazard2012 Like scenario proposed, yes. One caveat: I wouldn't cut Walt Powell before camp. He's at least serviceable as a returner. I actually think think he has some upside. Also, hasn't Salas had enough looks?? I mean maybe Gailey will be good for him, but we've kept Salas around for a while now. I think I would try to resign Harvin for a lower number if he's available after the "waiting period."

I cut Hakim, Bo, Winters and Powell because I don't think they bring much to the table and believe that I can do better in UDFAcy, etc or by going back and picking up some minor pieces from among unsigned FA's, etc.

As you know, the GM sim doesn't allow for camp bodies, etc., and ends before you really complete your roster. With the above team, I'm not worried too much about camp bodies. This team could compete with just about anyone right now.

Stop. Generation K was merely a ploy to counteract the Yankees "Core 4". None of those pitchers had ever pitched on the Major League level with success. All three of the Mets young guys have. End of discussion.

Yes. Last offseason we were told spending $7m on a CB or another WR was prohibitive and a waste. Well, once we committed to dumping $7M on Harvin (when the season was already over) it became no biggie.

7M with no long-term repercussions is a tiny price to pay for the gamble. If it didn't work, we're not negatively impacted in any real way. Harvin's brief trip in Green won't actually prevent Maccagnan from building a good roster for 2015.

That's why the trade was smart. Not because it was destined to work, but becaus if it worked it would be great and if it didn't we wouldn't be harmed.
